could just wear the watch
That watch doesn't appear to be a chronometer; their accuracy comes from consistent winding - same time of day - same number of turns etc. Using them occurs in-between. Most winders oscillate, turning seems unnatural motion compared to a wrist.
I like my time pieces to stand against the wall. Mine gets the 3 weights wound once a week
With a watch that uses a mechanical pendulum/ratchet winder, circular motion (in the correct direction) should wind it faster than the random motion of the wrist or a metronome-like winder that uses a back and forth motion.Quote:
